Culinary Uses

Urad Dal is made by splitting and removing the black husk of whole black gram, resulting in creamy white lentils. It is widely used in South Indian cooking for dishes like idlis, dosas, and vadas, where its sticky, creamy texture is essential. This lentil is rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, supporting muscle development and digestive health. Urad Dal is also valued in Ayurvedic medicine for improving stamina and bone strength. Its versatility makes it a vital ingredient in Indian kitchens.
